Today is September 2, 2016; September is "9" and when added to the "2" equals "11." The year 2016 simplified and added together is also a "9," and when you add it to the simplified "11" total from the month and day, you get another "11" for #1111. When you begin awakening, you will see numbers like "11" all over the place. The picture insert was the 92nd picture taken in the shoot (9+2=11). I drove by a mailbox today that had the house number "4729," or #1111 (4+7=11; 2+9=11). Eleven is the primary master number in numerology. It indicates an emerging consciousness or period of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Two "11's" also indicates #TwinFlames.

Mathematics is the universal language. If your soul wanted to write you a letter, it would be written in numbers. That is what the synchronicities identified in numerology really mean. Everything from your birthdate to the numerology of your name at birth is essentially a road map from the cosmos. It can help you better understand your life path and your destiny, as well as why your soul seems to urge you toward certain people at certain times. Your #TwinFlame is your mirror reflection--one soul separated at Earth in two bodies. This is different than a soul mate, who often creates resistance for you through things like abuse or neglect to push you into the path of your #Twin. You'll feel safe and comfortable with a soul mate. You'll have children, build a family, a home. But you will know there is something missing, even if, on the surface, nothing is.

#TwinFlames are as old as human civilization. From ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics to poetry from Rumi himself, the story of #TwinFlames and our journey has been expressed in every way imaginable, in every culture, for nearly one-million years. That's a long time. While I'm quite sure #TwinFlames are real, I'm equally sure that any human understanding of the concept is limited by our physicality. That means that there are always going to be things we don't know and/or can't quite imagine. However, when you meet your #Twin, or a reflection of your #Twin, it's an intense experience like nothing you've ever had before, or will again.

I created a #TwinFlame category this year in February, the second month, also simplified to an "11." Because it's a "9" year, when added to "11," it creates another "11." At the time, I was just learning numerology and did not know the significance of the timing. But it follows what's been happening for me--numerical synchronicity. Tonight, for example, I met family for dinner. When I looked at my receipt, my total was 5.29, or #511. That number in particular has been showing up for me for more than two years now. Very recently, I learned what the number means. It's also a warning. Abuse (or the karmic debt number "5") plus awakening ("11") can and will create secrets in love (or the karmic debt number "7"). But, when you multiply karmic debt through awakening, you also create change (or "55," which then simplifies to "10," or the power of the divine combined with the primal force of nature). The clock just turned 1:11 as I typed that. And, I got a "yes" knock to it as well....

The ultimate message of awakening or #1111 is that, any abuse you have suffered was to push you to finding your #Twin. Therefore, it is time to release the negative energy built up by the various abuses #TwinFlames often suffer. We "choose" lives that will provoke us to awaken. That usually includes great difficulty and various resistances; if life were happy for a #Twin, easy, then there would be no reason to awaken. We would be naturally complacent. Hardship creates the need to evolve. For some of us more stubborn types, we refuse evolution, even to the point of death. I was so scared to imagine #AwakeLife that I allowed myself to get sick with cancer...more than once. With my cancer, people die. Pretty quickly, too. Usually within 5-10 years, if very, very lucky. I was given a two-year prognosis in 2001. That was the second time I had cancer. Fifteen years later, I am still here. But it has been 25 years since my first diagnosis. I've survived seven times longer than the average person. I am the longest living high grade brain cancer survivor in the United States alive today. And it is entirely because I embraced who I am. Or at least, I started to.

So, when you are faced with the choice of awakening or going along with what other people want, take it from me--start #AwakeLife as soon as possible. You'll be healthier for it. And though I'm not quite happy yet, I'm closer today than ever before. We may live 100 lifetimes, but only the one we are in matters. To know what your soul needs and deny it because you're afraid to make change is weak. If I could only show you who you really are, what you really look like, and the amazing magic you have in you, you wouldn't hesitate. At least, to start positioning yourself for change. All humanity is connected, but especially #TwinFlames. It's like being part of a spiritual internet. We find each other. That's likely why you are reading this very blog.

The next four years bring about more awakening #Twins than at almost any other point in human history. The year 2018 is an "11" year, and, by no small coincidence, I turn 47, also an "11," that year. That's in two years, also an "11." The year 2020 is an #1111 year. That's the big one. My goal is to raise $250,000 for America by then. Charities big and small, starting next month with a small benefit for homeless kids in Atlanta, then, the disabled in Boston, a no-kill shelter in New Orleans, and it continues into 2017. I just met with the CEO of an innovative new company that sells an amazing product; we hope to partner on the effort to #RepairTheWorld, starting on November 11, 2017. More on that as things solidify, but during our meeting, the CEO confided in seeing #911 all the time. I explained how #911 is actually #1111. No coincidences!

I read a quote today that kind of sums up awakening and what it means to see #1111 on repeat:

"The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it."

It's from The Wolf of Wall Street. And, even though it's a cheesy line from a movie, it's the fucking truth. Don't forget it.

Wake up! It's time....

#TwinFlames #1111 Post-script: The video below features a beautiful song about #TwinFlames and I'd like to dedicate it to my #Twin. Worth the wait. Always will be.
